LINDA PECHSTEIN CELEBRATES HER FIRST HOLE IN ONE.

Linda Pechstein scored her first hole in one on May 10 on No. 16. She was playing in the Saturday Couples’ League with her partner Joe Klein, the other two members of the team were Terri Carpenter and Dave Worthington. Linda has been at the game for just more than eight years. She also won the hole in one pot, which was more than $500 and she bought drinks in the bar that day.

Charley Frantz also recorded an ace in May, her third. On May 19, she was playing with Cathy Piper, Lydia Ryan, and Linda Sholette and lofted it home on hole No. 2.

Charley has been playing for about 18 years, 13 here in Sabal Springs. Her first hole in one was in 2017 at Summerlin Ridge in South Fort Myers, which is no longer in operation. Her second hole in one was from the silver tees in 2014 on No. 9 here in Sabal Springs.

Her story is encouraging for late golf bloomers, having picked up the sport at 68 she is now the oldest woman playing 18 holes in Sabal Springs Ladies’ Golf Association. Charley says she is truly blessed to live in this wonderful community and to play with respectful lady golfers, who have been her cheerleaders from the start.

On Thursday, May 29, during the men’s league golf league, Dave Worthington took a 9-iron and scored a hole in one on No. 17. This was Dave’s second hole in one, the first being about 27 years ago. Dave has been golfing for about 55 years. Congratulations Dave.

Congratulations to all!
